    When truth is your Beloved, real love is possible

    How many times have I chanted "Sat Nam" (truth is my name) in the past 11 years of practising Kundalini Yoga? How many times have I swooned to hear and sing along with Snatam Kaur's exquisite rendition of Jap Man Sat Nam with its heart-stirring refrain: "All my life, meditate on Sat Nam - the true name of my Beloved" (Oh, and if you really want to know, it must be at least 5000x for the first one and possibly 100 for the second). And yet how many times have I swallowed, over-

    What are you angry about?

    In my Awakening Shakti Online Group Programme for women just now, I am teaching on Authentic Power & Sovereignty. Anger is an important part of this teaching. Generally speaking, women have been taught to suppress their anger and men learn to project it out in what can quickly become aggression or violence. Man's fear of a woman's wrath can lead him to withdraw, shut down or attempt to defend himself by pointing out her irrationality or staking a claim to greater authority. W

    Are we really so different?

    There's a man I know, who coaches at my kids' athletics club. He's middle-aged, personable and chatty. Whenever we meet, he always asks how not only I am, but also my mother, who he remembers has dementia. He listens with genuine care. This man gives up a lot of his spare time to coach young people for absolutely no financial reward. He's done it for years, going to the club and back 2-3x a week, accompanying them on the long coach rides to race-meets, taking videos, keeping

    The Good Girl / Good Boy Syndrome

    The Good Girl / Good Boy Syndrome

    A huge factor at play in our domestication is the good girl/good boy syndrome. A good girl, so we are told, is pretty in pink, softly spoken and oozing sweetness. She cries easily and her tears are touching. A good boy, so we are told, excels: he's a winner, a leader, a hero, a champ. He never cries: his invulnerability is admirable. Of course, it's acceptable to be a tom-boy - to an extent - so long as we don't take it too far. But the equivalent concept of a "jane-girl" doe

    Rejection

    The other day, my gorgeous daughter, Rose, was asked out by a boy in her class. He then texted her to make two specific suggestions - they could go to the movies or out for a meal. Rose likes this boy: he's a friend and she enjoys his company. But she doesn't want to date him. She asked for my help in composing a kind response to him that would deliver a "no", yet be respectful of his feelings. I was really touched by the gallantry of this young man, as well as Rose's intenti

    Making discerning partner choices

    Last year I got badly burned in relationship. Not just a little boo-boo kinda burn, but what felt like third degree burns all over, inside and out. It was abusive and dysfunctional and I’ve written about it in 2 previous blogs (see them here and here). So I’m not going to re-hash that here. What I’m now interested in, and what a conversation with the amazing coach Jo Valentina-Sinclair got me thinking about, is: how do I safeguard myself against a repeat performance? and h

    Love, anger and boundaries

    “Anger does not disappear as we evolve and in fact may become even more fiery, but it burns more and more cleanly, serving the well-being of all involved.” Robert Augustus Masters Having recently come out of an abusive relationship, I am, understandably, paying close attention to my boundaries. Recognising that I not only over-rode some subtle inner signals that things weren’t “right”, but also tolerated and made allowances for my partner’s increasingly cruel and aggressive

    The Appeal of Being Real

    Truth is SO important to a life that is vital, free, creative, connected and healthy! But most of us have grown up with a conditioning that teaches us to lie. And living in dishonesty - on ANY level - squashes our spirit, deadens our aliveness, kills intimacy and can - literally - make us ill! This is what I know from 13 years of travelling the path of awakening and searching so desperately for love, connection and holistic well-being. And it's something I am committed to

    Loving the hell out of one another

    Beloveds. On October 3rd, 2016, I connected with my Twin Flame. He lived on the other side of the world - in Australia. We had never met. A few weeks later, he flew over to meet me in person and we were reunited at Heathrow airport on October 24th. I say "reunited", because it was very clear to us both that although our bodies were meeting for the first time in this lifetime, our souls had yearned and quested for this moment for aeons. And so began our adventure of Divine
